Amendment 26 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 10 a (new)
(10a) In order to provide the purchasers of light commercial vehicles with the information necessary to take purchasing decisions, manufacturers should provide potential customers with information on these vehicles’ CO2 emissions and fuel consumption.

Amendment 34 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 13
(13) Manufacturers should have flexibility to decide how to meet their targets under this Regulation and should be allowed to average emissions over their new vehicle fleet rather than having to respect CO2 targets for each individual vehicle. Manufacturers should therefore be required to ensure that the average specific emission for all the new light commercial vehicles registered in the Community for which they are responsible does not exceed the average of the emissions targets for those vehicles. This requirement should be phased in between 20145 and 20167 in order to facilitate its introduction. This is consistent with the lead times given and the duration of the phase-in period set in Regulation 443/2009.

Amendment 35 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 14
(14) In order to ensure that targets reflect the particularities of small and niche manufacturers and are consistent with the manufacturer's reduction potential, alternative emission reduction targets should be set for such manufacturers taking into account the technological potential of a given manufacturer's vehicles to reduce their specific emissions of CO2 and consistently with the characteristics of the market segments concerned. This derogation should be covered by the review of the specific emission targets in Annex I, to be completed by the beginning of 20134 at the latest.

Amendment 38 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 15
(15) The Community Strategy to reduce CO2 emissions from passenger cars and light commercial vehicles established an integrated approach with a view to reaching the Community target of 120 g CO2/km by 2012, while also presenting a longer-term vision of further emission reductions. Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 substantiates this longer-term view by setting a target of 95 g CO2/km as average emissions for the new car fleet. In order to ensure consistency with that approach and to provide planning certainty for the industry, a long-term targets for the specific emissions of CO2 of light commercial vehicles in 2020 and 2025 should be set.

Amendment 41 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 20
(20) Manufacturers' compliance with the targets under this Regulation should be assessed at the Community level. Manufacturers whose average specific emissions of CO2 exceed those permitted under this Regulation should pay an excess emissions premium with respect to each calendar year from 1. January 20145. The premium should be modulated as a function of the extent to which manufacturers fail to comply with their target. In order to ensure consistency, the premium mechanism should be similar to the one set in Regulation (EC) No 443/2009. The amounts of the excess emissions premium should be considered as revenue in the General Budget of the European Union.

Amendment 52 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 24
(24) The speed of road vehicles has a stris onge influence on their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. In addition, in the absence of speed limitation for light commercial vehicles, it is possible that there is an element of competition as regards top speed which could lead to oversized powertraline with the principle that, in reducing CO2 emissions, more use should be made of economic incentives and less of prohibitions, a voluntary scheme granting manufacturers, in return for the installation of speed limiters, certain credits in respect of the CO2 emissions saved might contribute to promotinsg and associated inefficiencies in slower operating condit more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly fleet of LCVs in the Unions. It is therefore appropriate to investigate the feasibility of extendingFirst, however, urgent measures should be taken to investigate scientifically whether significant quantities of CO2 emissions can be saved by the installation of speed limiters and if so whether it is possible to extend the scope of Council Directive 92/6/EEC on the installation and use of speed limitation devices for certain categories of motor vehicles in the Community, in the framework of a voluntary scheme with bonuses, with the aim of including light commercial vehicles covered in this Regulation.

Article 4 – paragraph 2 a (new)
Manufacturers shall take the appropriate measures to gradually reduce the average CO2 emissions of new light commercial vehicles registered in the Union so as to reach the target of 135 g CO2/km in 2025, taking account – in order to promote continuing innovation – of the following non-binding targets: - 165 g CO2/km in 2019 - 145 g CO2/km in 2023.

Proposal for a regulation
Article 5 a (new)
Article 5a Specific emission target for alternative fuel vehicles For the purpose of determining compliance by a manufacturer with its specific emissions target referred to in Article 4, the specified emissions of CO2 of each vehicle which is designed to be capable of running on a mixture of petrol with 85 % ethanol (‘E85’), and which meets relevant Union legislation or European technical standards, shall be reduced by 5 % by 31 December 2015 in recognition of the greater technological and emissions reduction capability when running on biofuels. This reduction shall apply only where at least 30 % of the filling stations in the Member State in which the vehicle is registered provide this type of alternative fuel complying with the sustainability criteria for biofuels set out in relevant Union legislation.
